Can you prove evolution wrong?*

It's based on empirical evidence, not gross imagination. How do you think parental testing happens? Yep, similarity in DNA. We know for a fact, that
the degree of similarity in DNA correlates directly with relatedness.

then how do you not know its a different species?

Care to rephrase your question? What are you referring to with "it" and different species from what? How is your question related to what I wrote?

What I'm saying is how do they know the difference between parental testing genes, and aleged evolution.
There is no ground floor that has ever been established to know whats going on. This is what I keep saying.

It's how a lot of modern medicine is performed. Look it up if you don't believe me. I know real life can be hard to accept sometimes for someone as
delusional as you.

Well sure in terms of bacteria and viruses, but there is no grounding for the basis.

I digress once again to when I was talking about the fact that we honestly have no proof of knowing if a species is changing out of its species. How
do we know or not know that 6 feet people are normal? We don't, we assume they are normal because most of us are that way, and that is a fact.

So this is how we determine the ground basis for things changing, its bases on an assumption.

Really now. So you're claiming that we don't experiment on rats and mice due to their nearly identical organ system? It's a medical fact, and you
should know it with all the animal rights folks that are up in arms over the issue.

No I'm not denying we have 70% overlap with rats, I'm
just saying there is noting that proves we are related even though.

So you think it's just a coincidence that we share so much DNA and physiology? Why would that be random?

Your genome is the most similar to that of your parents and your siblings. Your parents genomes are the most similar to that of their parents and
their siblings. Your grandparents genomes are the most similar to that of their parents and their siblings. This is an unbroken chain. As we move
further back in time, the more and more dissimilar the genomes get in comparison to yours.

Suppose your great-grandma had a brother,who had a son, who had a son, who also had a son - called Mark (approximately your age). Suppose your grandma
also had a brother, who had a son, who had a son - called Lucas (also approximately your age). Genetically speaking, you're going to be more similar
to Lucas than to Mark.

The same principle applies on much longer timescales just as well. Or perhaps you will be the first person ever, who puts forth a mechanism that could
possibly stop this force of nature from happening?

wow, stars for you. I liked how you set that up with the grandma and great grandma, makes a lot of sense.

It's statements like this that make it absolute apparent to us that you never even bothered to try to understand evolution. How did you manage to pass
your biology class, or maybe you're a high school dropout?

I even went into college for a science background.

Not much about evolution was taught when I was in high school, neither was religion. I think they both have there flaws. No I tried, but when I got
handed links telling me that evolution is a postulated hypothetical theory, it kind of summed things up for me.

You do realise you was asked
where you got your education and not where you got a job as a cleaner in the local school science labs dont you?

Is this the same school that taught you how to set up home inside a whale?
Is this the same school where you were taught everything humans do is un natural and everything animals do is natural?
Your school not teaching much about evolution was it appears still way over your understanding.
What they did teach you is two words. Postulated and hypothetical, it is just a shame they never taught you what they meant.

Stating you went to school for a science background seems to have been a legendary failure because what you have demonstrated in this thread is a
total ignorance of how it works even at the most elemental level.

Pathological liars - or "mythomaniacs" - may be suffering from histrionic personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder. The following
comments basically reflect a pathological liar who has the characteristics of histrionic personality disorder.

Your genome is the most similar to that of your parents and your siblings. Your parents genomes are the most similar to that of their parents and

Your saying when there are changes, its evolution. Now you have nothing to back up the theory, or anything the proves it, you just know.

What I'm saying is when parents make children, there are changes, how do you not know that is evolution? Evolution is not based on anything grounded.
As a result there is no way to prove it.

First off I don't rely on the inaccuracies of others to teach me what to believe in. I look at everything myself and make my own decision.
Intervention was never taught to me if that's whats your eluding to, I simply read the evidence and easily came to that decision.

Being able to understand things that aren't natural requires someone to remove themselves from the picture. Not everyone can do this, so I can see
where your having a problem with it. You have been brainwashed by evolutionism so its the first thing on your mind, and it makes it difficult to
pull yourself out of the picture. This is why you will most likely never understand.

I haven't lied anywhere here. Your delusion of evolution just forces you to see things that way. It's another reason why I don't buy into the idea
of evolution. When the links I'm being sent to clearly state they are a hypothetical postulated theory and a group of people are still head strong in
believing its real, I automatically know what type of people they are.

Maybe you guys don't know what postulated and hypothetical means.
So here is is, right out of google.

Suggest or assume the existence, fact, or truth of (something) as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or belief. www.google.com...
qi=g4g-s1g5&aql=&gs_l=serp.3..0l4j0i10j0l5.2884l4776l0l4982l10l9l0l0l0l0l111l908l3j6l9l0.frgbld.

Suggesting or assuming something into a fact for the purpose of discussion does not make it a scientific fact.
And thats a fact that seems to be eluding a lot of people on here.

Your saying when there are changes, its evolution. Now you have nothing to back up the theory, or anything the proves it, you just know.

What I'm saying is when parents make children, there are changes, how do you not know that is evolution? Evolution is not based on anything grounded.
As a result there is no way to prove it.

For crying out loud, we are actively using the theory in modern medicine to accurately FORECAST changes. It's how we come up with medicine! If theory
were wrong, we couldn't use it to predict the future

Also, you saying "there is no proof" is laughable after all the proof people posted. All it shows is that your preconceived notions forbid you from
thinking rationally and logically

There is no objective evidence for intervention. You posting Pye's snake oil salesman claims isn't proof

You have been brainwashed

The irony is strong in this one

I haven't lied anywhere here.

Well, you posted stuff that is demonstrably nonsense and not true...and technically that's lying

When the links I'm being sent to clearly state they are a hypothetical postulated theory

There is no such thing

Something is either a theory (aka fully backed up by objective evidence) or a hypothesis (something not backed up by evidence). A hypothesis only
becomes a theory once it's been tested and fully error checked. So a theory isn't hypothetical

At least learn about the things you criticize, because clearly you don't know what you're talking about...

Rational people?
Logical people?
People who care about objective evidence?

their siblings. Your grandparents genomes are the most similar to that of their parents and their siblings. This is an unbroken chain. As we move

What I'm saying is when parents make children, there are changes, how do you not know that is evolution? Evolution is not based on anything grounded.

No. That's not what I am saying. Evolution and change are not synonymous. Evolution is natural selection acting on change. Children being different
from their parents is not evolution. It's only evolution in the grander scale, when we look at populations, and we observe that some children manage
to reproduce better than other children of other parents, and thus the gene pool of that entire population changes.

You have nothing to back up your claim, that this would not lead to speciation in longer time scales, given that populations became isolated from one
another, i.e. there was no cross breeding, and thus the two populations of the same species would start to diverge genetically, end result being two
different species from one ancestral species.

So I ask you again, what kind of mechanism could possibly prevent the above from happening? If you fail to do this, you can no longer say that DNA
similarity doesn't implicate degree of relatedness.

For crying out loud, we are actively using the theory in modern medicine to accurately FORECAST changes. It's how we come up with medicine! If theory
were wrong, we couldn't use it to predict the future

Well I guess we go back to this again. Like I have said now probably a dozen times now, that just because they are able to find changes,
doesn't mean its the hand of evolution. I'm not denying that things can change, but there is no grounded basis that proves its the hand of evolution
at work.

Also, you saying "there is no proof" is laughable after all the proof people posted. All it shows is that your preconceived notions forbid you from
thinking rationally and logically

Thinking rationally and making bold assumptions are two different things.

Evolution embraces several bold assumptions that have never been proven, and probably for a very good reason.

There is nothing that has ever been able to prove the hand of evolution.

There is no objective evidence for intervention. You posting Pye's snake oil salesman claims isn't proof

Well sure there is, there is clear documentation of it happening, unlike evolutionism.

Well, you posted stuff that is demonstrably nonsense and not true...and technically that's lying

Well just remember that your the one believing in a postulated hypothetical theory's, and I'm believing in documentation, who is really
the liar here?

Something is either a theory (aka fully backed up by objective evidence) or a hypothesis (something not backed up by evidence). A hypothesis only
becomes a theory once it's been tested and fully error checked. So a theory isn't hypothetical

Sorry if you disagree with the lingo, I got it off a major evolution site.

At least learn about the things you criticize, because clearly you don't know what you're talking about...

I believe the evolution link I have re posted a few times accurately described it.

Rational people?
Logical people?
People who care about objective evidence?

No. That's not what I am saying. Evolution and change are not synonymous. Evolution is natural selection acting on change. Children being different
from their parents is not evolution. It's only evolution in the grander scale, when we look at populations, and we observe that some children manage
to reproduce better than other children of other parents, and thus the gene pool of that entire population changes.

But still there is no way to identify or isolate the different changes. We simply don't know, and we can't because the ground work for
understanding our own biology is based on assumptions.

We assume that being 6' tall is ok. We assume that being 9 feet tall is a defect. What do we base that on? On an assumption. That assumption has set
the ground work for identifying changes in evolution.

You have nothing to back up your claim, that this would not lead to speciation in longer time scales, given that populations became isolated from one
another.

When a species is no longer able to breed with its original species, does not prove the hand of evolution. What it does prove is that they
are no longer breeding.

You failed to put forth a mechanism that could possibly prevent what I wrote from happening. Until you (or some other guy) do that, there is no reason
(none at all) to think that this is not exactly what has been and is happening. It is not just an assumption, but a logical conclusion that has also
been empirically verified in dozens of different fields of science. Also, in the end science (mathematics maybe excluded) is not about proving or
disproving things (how can you get P=0 or P=1?). It's about having high confidence in something being true or not. I mean sure, the similarity of
human and chimp genomes being extremely similar could be only due to chance (instead of common ancestry), however the probability of this being the
case is some ridiculously small number that approaches negative infinity. And that's where you're hiding when you say that it hasn't been proven. It
will never be proven like that, because such task is impossible.

Well I guess we go back to this again. Like I have said now probably a dozen times now, that just because they are able to find changes, doesn't mean
its the hand of evolution. I'm not denying that things can change, but there is no grounded basis that proves its the hand of evolution at work.

Except it is...because we are using the THEORY OF EVOLUTION for our forecasts. If the theory were wrong, our forecasts would be too...but they aren't

Thinking rationally and making bold assumptions are two different things.

Evolution embraces several bold assumptions that have never been proven, and probably for a very good reason.

There is nothing that has ever been able to prove the hand of evolution.

They aren't "assumptions", they are theories. And in order to be a theory, it needs to be fully backed up by objective evidence. You don't even
understand what a scientific theory is

Well sure there is, there is clear documentation of it happening, unlike evolutionism.

In order to be a scientific evidence, it requires clear documentation...so once again you don't know what you're talking about. Also, what proof for
intervention are you talking about? So far you posted none

Well just remember that your the one believing in a postulated hypothetical theory's, and I'm believing in documentation, who is really the liar
here?
